Best Shaker Caraway Cookies Recipes

AQUAVIT CARAWAY SPRITZER

Steps:

• Add the caraway seeds to a dry saucepan and toast until lightly fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and let steep until cool. Strain and discard any solids.
• Fill a cocktail shaker and 2 rocks glasses with ice. Add the aquavit, orange juice, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons caraway syrup to the shaker and shake vigorously (save the remaining syrup for another use). Pour the drink into the glasses and top with club soda. Garnish with the orange half-rounds.

LEMON CARAWAY SEED COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• 2. Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. With a pastry cutter, cut butter pieces into dry ingredients until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
• 3. Add the egg and the Caraway Seeds or Poppy Seeds into dough. Knead dough and bring together to form a soft dough.
• 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough thinly and then cut out rounds (about 36). You can flour a rim of a glass and cut the pieces if you don't have a circular cookie or biscuit cutter.
• 5. Transfer the cookies to the cookie sheets, brush lightly with a beaten egg and sprinkle with raw sugar. Optional but it does provide a crunch and sweetness.
• 6. Bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until cookies are crisp and lightly golden in color. Cool and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees F.

• (For the next step I used a silicon sheet, folded in half).
• Divide the dough in half and place one half between 2 large sheets waxed paper.
• Roll the dough until 1/16 inch thick.
• Remove the top sheet of paper and cut dough into 1- 1/2 inch shapes or rectangles.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
• Put the crackers on ungreased baking sheets and prick each cracker 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
• Cool and serve with whatever takes your fancy!
